Remembering Thomas Herrion
The NFL season hasn't officially started, but the league already has one casualty. San Francisco 49er Thomas Herrion collapsed and died after yesterday's game against the Denver Broncos. According to the coroner's office in Denver, the cause of Herrion's death won't be known for a few weeks.
No matter what the cause, this death is tragic. The first-year guard was only 23 years old, and was considered a longshot to make the 49ers' final roster. Even though many of us will say he's in a better place now, I feel badly for a guy who worked hard for years, tried to take his shot at the bigtime, but didn't really get to live the dream.
